A solution may be to move the call to ep_poll_safewake() (that'd become a

bunch of places where it could be asynchronously hit (plus performance
regression will need to be verified).

Although I'm not able to reproduce this one right now, I'm happy to test any patches you guys come up with.

Thanks for your time,
